Road Trip

Bryon and I decided to pack up and head to W.V this past weekend. A trip that used to only require a duffle bag and book bag now requires us to bring half our home. On top of that, a trip that used to take about 6 hours now takes about 8 hours. Hopefully we'll learn to tweak that a little the more we travel but having a baby sure does change things!

The trip was really refreshing. Our purpose in going was to spend some time praying and working on some different projects for raising support. Overall it was very productive and helped give us some more momentum in this whole process. It has been difficult to know how to balance our day to day responsibilities and raising support at the same time. It was nice to get away from home (no laundry, cleaning, phone calls, etc) and focus. When we are up there we don't have cell phone reception, television or internet. The pace of life is so much slower. It is so nice and quiet!

I am always surprised when I go up there by how much I love the area. It is just confirmation that the Lord has put W.V on our hearts for a reason. There is so much beauty in the area and so many people that need to meet the One who created the beauty around them. I am anxious to move there.

Here are a few photos I took while there:

The picture below shows some homes above the basketball court. It's not uncommon to see a bunch of boys playing basketball here in the afternoons. I'm sure Bryon will be spending a lot of time in this area with the young boys when we move here.
